Study of erosion along homer spit and vicinity, Kachemak Bay, Alaska

Gronewald, G.J. / Duncan, W.W.

Progress report on Homer Spit Beach Erosion Study presents information regarding rapid acceleration of erosion processes due to subsidence of Homer Spit during Mar 27 1964 earthquake; effect on existing groins both before and after quake are discussed; emergency measures required immediately after quake to prevent wave and high water damage to existing structures on Spit and results concerning effectiveness of these measures are presented for evaluation, along with basic data gathered for erosion study.
